Ring O erection ring - sex toy for men by The Screaming O - review by markeagleone

OK, I have to admit that my wife ordered this ring for me. I have to say that it is simple in design and use, but a wonderful thought out marketing idea. I know most people are familiar with condoms, and the marketing ideas behind them. This one follows suit. This one would make a great free gift for the guys here at Eden. It is one that I could see sold at drug stores next to the condoms.

This particular ring is called a Ring O's, and is made by The Screaming O adult novelty company. It comes in assorted colors. The one I have is a Smokey black. Now, to get things a bit out of the way, the product page lists it by Bushman Products. I have not found that at the Screaming O website. It also lists the material as TPR silicone. That is incorrect. The material is a SEBS silicone. SEBS stands for Styrene, Ethylene, Butylene, and Styrene Copolymer. Sounds bad, doesn't it. Not really! Basically, it is a form of man-made rubber. This particular compound makes it easy to stretch quite a ways, but will always return to its original size and shape. It is quite different from TPR silicone. This is a man-made rubber/silicone mixture and not a direct plastic-rubber copolymer mix. It is latex and phthalate free and Hypo-allergenic.

This particular ring is 1 3/8 inches in diameter, with the inner hole being 3/4 of an inch in diameter and the material thickness being 3/8 of an inch round. There are no visible seams and only a small indentation where the material was injected at molding. There was no smell to it and the texture is smooth, offering about the same resistance to being rubbed as rubber, but much more flexible and softer.

The care for this ring is easy. Do not expose to direct sunlight and temperatures above 100 degrees. I'm sure everyone is familiar with dry-rot(small cracks on the sidewalls of tires). This product will do the same, but at a much faster rate(no natural rubber in the mix). This little ring can be washed in soap and water, or a toy cleaner, but cannot be boiled to sterilize. If you share or change partners, make sure to use a condom. That brings me back to the first part of the review. Honestly, this one costs $2.49, so what would be the practical use of sharing or even extending this ones life? I honestly think they should be sold in a box of ten or so. Anyway, use waterbased lubes with this one, if you are worried about making this one last.

Now, down to the nitty gritty. The product page lists a maximum stretch of 2 inches, but on testing, this one will go above three inches. It should be able to fit most men, unless they are smaller than the 3/4 inch hole at rest.

The ring comes in a plastic bag, with a see through front. It boasts the words,"Longer, Harder, Firmer". On the back it does give directions for use, the warning not to use on swollen or inflamed areas, and lists that it is made in China. The package is 3 1/4 by 3 5/8 inches and has a hole at the top for a hook. It is easy to hide, due to its size, but the wording doesn't make it too discreet. The front is covered with different colored rings, reminding me of what I would think of as a kid's snack treat.

This ring can be used anywhere. It can be used for those intimate moments with your partner, or even to spice up masturbation. It is convenient enough for travel, even on a plane(out of the plastic wrapper, of coarse). I would make sure to wash it before and after use, as it may be a bit prone for dust and lint. Also, remember to keep close attention to pubic hair, due to the fact that hair may wrap around it and cause some pulling on removal. Be sure that you use this product a half hour at a time with one hour rest inbetween times. Do not use under the influence of drugs or alcohol and what ever you do, don't fall asleep with it on!
